French Politics: A Neighbour's 'History of the Present'
“French Politics: A Neighbour’s ‘History of the Present’” is a monthly seminar series organised by the University of Westminster (Centre for the Study of Democracy and Institute for Modern and Contemporary Culture), introducing the “crème de la crème” of French research in Social Sciences and Humanities. This series is designed with the Foucauldian notion of “history of the present” in mind and will tackle some of the most pressing challenges of French politics and political theory today.

Conference, symposium - Thought
The thought of Henri Bergson (1859-1941), one of the most influential theorists of time of the twentieth century, has primarily been confined to the so-called “continental” tradition of philosophy. In the past few years this has started to change; his work has begun to receive ingenious reassessment from philosophers outside the field of “continental” philosophy in general and within analytic philosophy in particular. The aim of this conference is to capture this moment and use it to provide new perspectives on Bergsonian philosophy, expanding and reassessing Bergson’s legacy and producing a major permutation in the philosophy of time.

Stages of Utopia and Dissent, 50 years on...
15 May 1968: the Odeon theatre in Paris is occupied by students and becomes the insurgent headquarters where every night militants recount the days' action in occupied factories to an audience of people camping in the auditorium. Youth rebellion was never as mythologised as that of the French students’ fight against institutional oppression. The effects were felt across the Channel, too – but the nature of those effects was, and remains, disputed. 50 years on… where are we? What remains of autogestion and emancipatory education? What remains of theatre inventiveness and sedition? What remains of a need for participatory audiences? What remains of utopia and dissent?

31st annual conference of the Society for the Study of French History
L’histoire de la France a été profondément influencée par ses engagements européens et mondiaux. Que ce soit par ses engagements diplomatiques ou militaires, ses interactions coloniales, les échanges culturels ou intellectuels ou les interconnections du commerce, le caractère fluide et perméable des frontières de la France a apporté une variété d’influences sur l’histoire de la France. Pendant que le rôle et le statut de la France dans l’Europe et le monde ont changé, les perceptions et les représentations de la France ont changé aussi.

Creating the Europe 1600-1815 Galleries
This conference celebrates the opening of the V&A’s new Europe 1600-1815 Galleries. It will introduce some of the new patterns of living that laid the foundations for our modern world. The papers will be presented according to the three main themes that create a narrative structure for the displays and interpretation in the galleries: first, that, for the first time ever, Europeans systematically explored, exploited, and collected resources from Africa, Asia and the Americas in their art and design; second, that France took over from Italy as leader of fashion and art in the second half of the 17th century; and third, that ways of living came to resemble those we know today.

Call for papers - Early modern
Fabrications: Designing for Silk in the Eighteenth Century
Joubert de la Hiberderie’s Le Dessinateur d’étoffes d’or, d’argent, et de soie (1765) was the first book to be published on textile design in Europe. In preparation for the publication of an English translation and critical edition of the text this one day conference calls for papers that will analyse, critique, contextualise, review or otherwise engage with the Le dessinateur in the light of its themes: production, design, technology, education, botany and art. Joubert’s manual argues for both a liberal and a technological education for the ideal designer. Such a person must, he argues, have detailed knowledge of the materials, technologies and traditions of patterned silk in order successfully to propose new designs; he or she must also have taste and an eye for beauty, which call, he says, for travel in order to see both the beauties of nature and those of art gathered in the gardens and galleries of Paris and the île de France.

Turning Points in French History
Society for the Study of French History 29th Annual Conference
This is a call for papers for the 29th Annual Conference of the UK and Ireland Society for the Study of French History. This conference will take place at the University of St Andrews, Scotland, UK, on 28th-30th June 2015, and will be hosted by the university’s Centre for French History and Culture.

28th annual conference of the Society for the Study of French History
De l’école des Annales à la phénoménologie, historiens français et intellectuels ont joué un rôle pionnier dans l’exploration et l’interprétation de l’expérience sensible. Nous invitons cette année les chercheurs à soumettre des propositions de communications ou de panels sur ce thème des sens. Cet appel à communication s’adresse à un large éventail d’historiens, ceux dont le travail concerne les cinq sens mais aussi ceux qui étudient le sens sous d’autres formes : sens de l’espace et du temps, sentiment d’appartenance ou sens de la communauté, voire « sixièmes » sens moins immédiatement évidents et tangibles. Les chercheurs, quelle que soit leur période de prédilection, se sont intéressés aux sens comme à des moyens de reconstruire l’expérience vécue du passé, ou de réfléchir à la nature du témoignage historique ou de l’écriture de l’histoire.
